RECEIVABLES -1

01.Explain different types of transaction in Receivables.

Invoice In Oracle Projects, a summarized list of charges, including payment terms, invoice item
information, and other information that is sent to a customer for payment.

Debit memos Debits that you assign to a customer to collect additional charges. For example, you may
want to charge a customer for unearned discounts taken, additional freight charges, taxes, or finance
charges.

Charge backs A new debit item that you assign to your customer when closing an existing, outstanding
debit item.

Credit memo In Oracle Receivables, a document that partially or fully reverses an original invoice. You
can create credit memos in the Receivables Credit Transactions window or with Auto Invoice.

Deposit A type of commitment whereby a customer agrees to deposit or prepay a sum of money for the
future purchase of goods and services

Guarantee A contractual obligation to purchase a specified amount of goods or services over a

predefined period of time.

02. What is Application Rule Set?

Application Rule Sets

Use the Application Rules Sets window to review existing and define new application rule sets.
Application rule sets specify the default payment steps for your receipt applications and how discounts
affect the open balance for each type of associated charges. By defining your own application rule set,
you can determine how Receivables reduces the balance due for a transaction’s line, tax, freight, and
finance charges.

Receivables provides the following application rules:

Line First – Tax After: Apply to the open line item amount first. Apply any remaining amount in the
following order: tax, freight, and then finance charges.

Line First – Tax Prorate: Apply a proportionate amount to the open line item amount and the open tax
amount for each line. Apply any remaining amount to freight and then to finance charges.

Prorate All: Apply a proportionate amount to the line, tax, freight, and finance charges.

To define an application rule set:

1. Navigate to the Application Rule Sets window.

1 Of 15
Oracle Financials Test No.12 Dt: 18th Feb

RECEIVABLES -1

2. Enter a Name and Description for this rule set.

3. Enter the Sequence number for this application rule. Receivables apply payments in this sequence,
beginning with the lowest sequence number.

Note: You cannot enter a sequence number for the Over application rule. By default, this rule is last in
the sequence for each application rule set.

4. Enter an application Rule. Each rule will correspond to a line type (for example, lines, freight, or
charges), so you should give your rule a descriptive name. Each rule set must have at least one
application rule.

Attention: Receivables automatically assigns the Over application rule to each application rule set. You
cannot delete this rule. The Over application rule applies any remaining amount after the balance due for
each item has been reduced to zero. If the transaction type of the debit item allows over application, this
rule prorates the remaining amount between each line and its associated tax amount, making these
amounts negative. If the transaction type does not allow over application, either you can place the
remaining amount on–account or leave it ’Unapplied’.

5. Enter Rule Details for this application rule. This section indicates the type of charges and the tax
handling for this rule. Choose a Type of Line, Freight, or Charges. You need to enter at least one type
for your rule set.

6. If you chose a Type of ’Line’, choose a Tax Treatment. Choose one of the following:

Prorate: Choose this option to proportionately reduce the net amount of the line and associated tax
amounts.
Before: Choose this option to first reduce the open tax amount, then apply any remaining amount to the
line.
After: Choose this option to reduce the open line amount, then apply any remaining amount to the
associated tax.

Note: The default Tax Treatment for your Freight and Charges types is None. This option ignores tax,
since you cannot tax freight and charges in Receivables. You cannot choose None for your Line type.

7. To automatically adjust this line type to account for any rounding corrections within this rule set,
check the Rounding Correction box. When an amount is prorated among several line types, Receivables
must use one of the line types to account for the rounding adjustment. Each application rule set must
have one and only one rounding correction line type.

Suggestion: Assign the Rounding Correction to the line type that is usually the largest portion of your
invoices. By doing this, the rounding correction will have the least effect on the overall remaining and
applied amounts for this line type.

8. Repeat the previous steps for each rule you want to add to this rule set.

9. Save your work.

10. When you are satisfied with this rule set definition, check the Freeze box. Receivables verify that
your application rule set is defined properly and that it does not violate any basic application guidelines.
If this rule set fails validation, Receivables displays an error message. In this case, modify your rule set
definition, and then check the Freeze box again to revalidate it.

Attention: A rule set must be ’frozen’ before you can assign it to a transaction type or use it as your
default rule it in the System Options window. Additionally, after you freeze an application rule set, you
cannot update or delete it.

03. Explain Auto Accounting.

Define Auto Accounting to specify how you want Receivables to determine the general ledger accounts
for transactions that you enter manually or import using Auto Invoice. Receivables create default
accounts for revenue, receivable, freight, tax, unearned revenue, unbilled receivable, finance charges,
bills receivables accounts, and Auto Invoice clearing (suspense) accounts using this information. When
you enter transactions in Receivables, you can override the default general ledger accounts that Auto
Accounting creates. You can control the value that Auto Accounting assigns to each segment of your
Accounting Flex field, such as Company, Division, or Account. You must define Auto Accounting
before you can enter transactions in Receivables.

Suggestion: If you use the multiple organization support feature, you can set up Auto Accounting to
derive the Product segment of your Revenue account based on inventory items. To do this, define the
Product segment of your Revenue account to use Standard Lines and specify a Warehouse ID when
entering transactions.

To define Auto Accounting:

1. Navigate to the Automatic Accounting window.

2. Enter the Type of account to define. Choose from the following:

Auto Invoice Clearing: The clearing account for your imported transactions. Receivables use the
clearing account to hold any difference between the specified revenue amount and the selling price times
the quantity for imported invoice lines. Receivables only use the clearing account if you have enabled
this feature for the invoice batch source of your imported transactions.

Bills Receivable: The bills receivable account for your transaction. Receivables use this account when
you exchange transactions for bills receivable.

Factored Bills Receivable: The factored bills receivable account for your bills receivable transactions.

Freight: The freight account for your transaction.

Receivable: The receivable account for your transaction.

3 Of 15
Oracle Financials Test No.12 Dt: 18th Feb
2006
RECEIVABLES -1

Remitted Bills Receivable: The remitted bills receivable account for your bills receivable transactions.

Revenue: The revenue and finance charges account for your transaction.

Tax: The tax account for your transaction.

Unbilled Receivable: The unbilled receivable account for your transaction. Receivables use this
account when you use the Bill In Arrears invoicing rule. If your accounting rule recognizes revenue
before your invoicing rule bills it, Receivables uses this account.

Unearned Revenue: The unearned revenue account for your transaction. Receivables use this account
when you use the Bill In Advance invoicing rule. If your accounting rule recognizes revenue after your
invoicing rule bills it, Receivables uses this account.

Unpaid Bills Receivable: The unpaid bills receivable account for your bills receivable transactions.

3. For each segment, enter either the table name or constant value that you want Receivables to use to
get information. When you enter an account Type, Receivables displays all of the segment names in
your Accounting Flexfield Structure. Segments include such information as Company, Product,
Department, Account, and Sub–Account. Receivables lets you use different table names for different
accounts. Choose one of the following table names:

Bill To Site: Use the bill–to site of the transaction to determine this segment of your revenue, freight,
receivable, Auto Invoice clearing, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue account.

Drawee Site: Use the drawee site table to determine this segment of your bills receivable, factored bills
receivable, remitted bills receivable, and unpaid bills receivable account.

Remittance Banks: Use the remittance banks table to determine this segment of your factored bills
receivable and remitted bills receivable account.

Salesperson: Use the salesperson’s table to determine this segment of your revenue, freight, receivable,
AutoInvoice clearing, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue account. If you choose this option
for your AutoInvoice clearing, tax, or unearned revenue accounts, Receivables uses the revenue account
associated with this salesperson. If you choose this option for your unbilled receivable account,
Receivables uses the receivable account associated with this salesperson. If the transaction has a line
type of ”LINE” with an inventory item of freight (”FRT”), AutoAccounting uses the accounting rules
for the freight type account rather than the revenue type account.

Standard Lines: Use the standard memo line or inventory item on the transaction to determine this
segment of your revenue, AutoInvoice clearing, freight, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue
account. If you choose this option for your AutoInvoice clearing, freight, tax, unbilled receivable or
unearned revenue accounts, Receivables uses the revenue account associated to this standard memo line

RECEIVABLES -1

item or inventory item. If the transaction has a line type of ”LINE” with an inventory item of freight
(”FRT”), AutoAccounting uses the accounting rules for the freight type account rather than the revenue
type account.

Taxes: Enter this option to use tax codes when determining your tax account.

Transaction Types: Use the transaction types table to determine this segment of your revenue, freight,
receivable, AutoInvoice clearing, tax, unbilled receivable, and unearned revenue account, and of your
bills receivable, factored bills receivable, remitted bills receivable, and unpaid bills receivable account.
If the transaction has a line type of ”LINE” with an inventory item of freight (”FRT”), AutoAccounting
uses the accounting rules for the freight type account rather than the revenue type account.

4. If you did not enter a Table Name, enter a Constant value for this segment, or select one from the list
of values. Enter a Constant value if you want AutoAccounting to always use the same value for this
Accounting Flexfield segment. Be sure to enter information that is valid for this segment. For example,
if you defined your Company flexfield segment as a two–character segment with valid values ranging
from 00 to 10, you must enter a two–character value within this range.

5. Save your work.

4. What is Auto Cash Rule Set?

Define Auto Cash Rule Sets to determine the sequence of Auto Cash Rules that Post Quick Cash uses to
update your customer’s account balances. You specify the sequence and the Auto Cash Rules for each
Auto Cash Rule Set. The Auto Cash Rule Sets you define display as list of values choices in the
Customers, Customer Addresses, Customer Profile Classes, and the System Options windows. Post
Quick Cash first checks the customer site, then the customer profile class, and finally at the system
options level to determine the Auto Cash Rule Set to use.

Receivables provides a default AutoCash Rule Set when you assign a customer to a credit profile, but
you can modify individual AutoCash Rule Set assignments at both the customer and customer site
levels. If you do not assign an AutoCash Rule Set to a customer’s credit profile, and you enter a receipt
for this customer, Receivables uses the AutoCash Rule Set that you entered in the System Options
window along with the number of Discount Grace Days you specified in this customer’s credit profile to
apply the receipt. If you assign an AutoCash Rule Set to a customer, but none of the AutoCash Rules
apply, Receivables places the remaining amount Unapplied or On–Account, depending on how you set
the Remaining Remittance Amount option for the rule set.

If you have set up your system to use bank charges and a tolerance limit, Post QuickCash will also
consider these amounts if the current AutoCash rule fails (this is true for all rules except ’Apply to the
Oldest Invoice First’). If it finds a match, Post QuickCash applies the receipt; otherwise, it looks at the
next rule in the sequence. You can disable an existing AutoCash Rule Set by changing its status to
Inactive and then saving your work.

Define system options

To define an AutoCash Rule set:

1. Navigate to the AutoCash Rule Sets window.

2. Enter the Name of this AutoCash rule set.

3. Enter a description for this AutoCash rule set (optional).

4. Enter the type of Discount you want to automatically give to your customer for this AutoCash Rule
Set. Choose one of the following Discount options:

Earned Only: Your customer can take earned discounts according to the receipt terms of sale. You
negotiate earned discount percentages when you define specific receipt terms. You can enter this option
if Allow Unearned Discounts is set to yes in the System Options window. In this case, Receivables only
allows earned discounts for this AutoCash Rule Set.

Earned and Unearned: Your customer can take both earned and unearned discounts. An unearned
discount is one taken after the discount period passes. You cannot choose this option if the system
option Unearned Discounts is set to No.

None: Your customer cannot take discounts (this is the default).

5. To include transactions in dispute when calculating your customer’s open balance, check the Items in
Dispute check box.

6. To include finance charges when calculating your customer’s open balance, check the Finance
Charges check box.

7. Define the Automatic Matching Rule for this AutoCash Rule set.

8. If this rule set will include the Apply to the Oldest Invoice First rule, choose how you want to apply
any Remaining Remittance Amount. Receivables uses this value to determine how to enter the
remaining amount of the receipt if none of the AutoCash Rules within this rule set apply. Choose
’Unapplied’ to mark remaining receipt amounts as Unapplied. Choose ’On–Account’ to place remaining
receipt amounts On–Account.

9. To automatically apply partial receipts when using the Apply to the Oldest Invoice First rule, check
the Apply Partial Receipts check box. A partial receipt is one in which the receipt minus the applicable
discount does not close the debit item to which this receipt is applied. The applicable discount that
Receivables uses for this rule depends upon the value you entered in the Discounts field for this
AutoCash Rule Set. If you exclude finance charges (by setting Finance Charges to No) and the amount
6 Of 15
Oracle Financials Test No.12 Dt: 18th Feb
2006
RECEIVABLES -1

of your receipt is equal to the amount of the debit item to which you are applying this receipt minus the
finance charges, Receivables defines this receipt as a partial receipt. In this case, Receivables does not
close the debit item because the finance charges for this debit item are still outstanding.
If Apply Partial Receipts is set to No, this AutoCash Rule Set will not apply partial receipts and will
either mark the remaining receipt amount ’Unapplied’ or place it on–account, depending on the value
you entered in the Remaining Remittance Amount field.

10. Enter a Sequence number to specify the order of each rule in this AutoCash Rule Set (optional).
Receivables uses the rule assigned to sequence 1, then sequence 2, and so on when applying receipts
using this AutoCash Rule Set.

11. Enter one or more AutoCash Rules for this AutoCash rule set. Choose from the following AutoCash
rules:

Apply to the Oldest Invoice First: This rule matches receipts to debit and credit items starting with the
oldest item first. This rule uses the transaction due date when determining which transaction to apply to
first. This rule uses the values you specified for this AutoCash Rule Set’s open balance calculation to
determine your customer’s oldest outstanding debit item.

Post QuickCash uses the next rule in the set if any of the following are true:
– all of your debit and credit items are closed
– the entire receipt amount is applied
– it encounters a partial receipt application and Allow Partial
Receipts is set to No for this AutoCash Rule Set
– the next oldest debit item includes finance charges and Finance Charges is set to No for this AutoCash
Rule Set This rule marks any remaining receipt amount ’Unapplied’ or places it on–account, depending
on the value you entered in the Remaining Remittance Amount field for this AutoCash Rule set

Clear the Account: Post QuickCash uses this rule only if your customer’s account balance exactly
matches the amount of the receipt. If the receipt amount does not exactly match this customer’s account
balance, Post QuickCash uses the next rule in the set. This rule calculates your customer’s account
balance by using the values you specified for this AutoCash Rule Set’s open balance calculation and the
number of Discount Grace Days in this customer’s profile class. This rule also includes all of this
customer’s debit and credit items when calculating their account balance. This rule ignores the value of
the Apply Partial Receipts option.
This AutoCash Rule uses t he following equation to calculate the open balance for each debit item:
Open Balance = Original Balance + Finance Charges – Discount
Receivables then add the balance for each debit item to determine the customer’s total account balance.
The ’Clear the Account’ rule uses this equation for each invoice, chargeback, debit memo, credit memo,
and application of an Unapplied or On–Account receipt to a debit item.

Note: The discount amount for each item depends upon the payment terms of the item and the value of
the Discounts field for this AutoCash Rule Set. The number of Discount Grace Days in this customer’s
credit profile, along with the payment terms assigned to their outstanding invoices, determine the actual
due dates of each debit item.

RECEIVABLES -1

Clear Past Due Invoices: This rule is similar to the ’Clear the Account’ rule because it applies the
receipt to your customer’s debit and credit items only if the total of these items exactly matches the
amount of this receipt. However, this rule only applies the receipt to items that are currently past due. A
debit item is considered past due if its due date is earlier than the receipt deposit date. This rule
considers credit items (i.e. any pre–existing, unapplied receipt or credit memo) to be past due if the
deposit date of the receipt is either the same as or later than the deposit date of this pre–existing receipt
or credit memo. In this case, this rule uses a pre–existing receipt or credit memo before the current
receipt for your AutoCash receipt applications. If this AutoCash Rule Set’s open balance calculation
does not include finance charges or disputed items, and this customer has past due items that are in
dispute or items with balances that include finance charges, this rule will not close these items. This rule
ignores the value of the Apply Partial Receipts option.

Clear Past Due Invoices Grouped by Payment Term: This rule is similar to the ’Clear Past Due
Invoices’ rule, but it first groups past due invoices by their payment term, and then uses the oldest
transaction due date within the group as the group due date.

When using this rule, Receivables can only apply the receipt if the receipt amount exactly matches the
sum of your customer’s credit memos and past due invoices. A debit item is considered past due if the
invoice due date is earlier than the deposit date of the receipt you are applying. For credit memos,
Receivables uses the credit memo date to determine whether to include these amounts in the customer’s
account balance. For example, if you are applying a receipt with a receipt date of 10–JAN–93, credit
memos that have a transaction date (credit memo date) on or earlier than 10–JAN–93 will be included.
Credit memos do not have payment terms, so they are included in each group.

Match Payment with Invoice: This rule applies the receipt to a single invoice, debit memo, or
chargeback that has a remaining amount due exactly equal to the receipt amount. This rule uses the
values that you enter for this AutoCash Rule Set’s open balance calculation to determine the remaining
amount due of this customer’s debit items. For example, if Finance Charges is No for this rule set and
the amount of this receipt is equal to the amount due for a debit item minus its finance charges, this rule
applies the receipt to that debit item. If this rule cannot find a debit item that matches the receipt amount,
Post QuickCash looks at the next rule in the set. This rule ignores the value of the Apply Partial Receipts
option.

Default Payment Terms Hierarchy

Receivables uses the following hierarchy to determine the default payment term for your transactions,
stopping when one is found:

1. Bill–to site
2. Customer Address
3. Customer
4. Transaction Type

09.How to adjust an on Account Credit memo with in invoice.

Regular credit memos will not be posted, as no cash is exchanged. Therefore, if you use credit memos,
ensure that the accounts on the credit memo are the same as those on the invoices associated with the
credit memos. You can achieve this by setting your profile option AR:

Use Invoice Accounting For Credit Memos to Yes.

An on–account credit will be posted when it is applied to an invoice or combined with a cash receipt.

Consider the journal entries created in the following instances:

An on–account credit is issued. No journal entry is created.

The on–account credit is applied to an invoice for $100.

This table shows the journal entries that are created:

By applying the on–account credit to a cash receipt, the available unapplied cash balance is increased
from $200 to $300. The user applies the $300 unapplied cash balance to an invoice.

10.What Is the Relevance of “Open Receivables” in Transaction Type?

If Open Receivable is set to Yes, Receivables updates your customer balances each time you create a
complete debit memo, credit memo, chargeback, or on-account credit with this transaction type.
Receivables also include these transactions in the standard aging and collection processes.

10 Of 15
Oracle Financials Test No.12 Dt: 18th Feb
2006
RECEIVABLES -1

If you are defining a 'void' transaction type, set Open Receivable to No.

Suggestion: You can use the Open Receivable option to implement an approval cycle for
any temporary or preliminary debit memos, credit memos, on-account credits,
chargebacks, and invoices that you may use in your business. For particularly sensitive
debit memos, credit memos, on-account credits, chargebacks, and invoices that you may
want to review, you can define a transaction type called Preliminary with Open
Receivable set to No. This transaction type does not update your customer balances.
When you review and approve the item, you can then change the transaction type to Final
(a transaction type that you define with Open Receivable set to Yes) which will update
your customer's balances.

11.What do you understand by “Creation Sign” in Transaction Type? Can we over ride creation
Sign?

Choose a Creation Sign. The default is Positive Sign for transaction types with a class of either
Guarantee or Deposit. If you are using the Cash Basis accounting method, your transaction's creation
sign must be either Positive Sign, Negative Sign, or Any Sign. You cannot update this field after you
enter transactions with this type.

12.What is the difference between Deposit and Guarantee? Write the accounting entries for both.

Deposit A type of commitment whereby a customer agrees to deposit or prepay a sum of money for the
future purchase of goods and services

Guarantee A contractual obligation to purchase a specified amount of goods or services over a

predefined period of time.

Deposits

When you enter a deposit, Receivables creates the following journal entry:

DR Receivables (Deposit) XXX

CR Revenue XXX

When you enter an invoice against this deposit, Receivables creates the following journal entries:

DR Receivables (Invoice) XXX

CR Revenue XXX
CR Tax (if you charge tax) XXX
CR Freight (if you charge freight) XXX

When cash is received against this deposit, Receivables creates the following journal entry:

DR Cash XXX
CR Receivables (Deposit) XXX

Guarantees

When you enter a guarantee, Receivables creates the following journal entry:

DR Unbilled Receivables XXX

CR Unearned Revenue XXX

When you enter an invoice against this guarantee, Receivables creates the following journal entry:

DR Receivables (Invoice) XXX

CR Revenue XXX
CR Tax (if you charge tax) XXX
CR Freight (if you charge freight) XXX

DR Unearned Revenue XXX

CR Unbilled Receivables XXX

When you apply an invoice to a guarantee, Receivables creates a receivable adjustment against the
guarantee. Receivables uses the account information you specified in your AutoAccounting structure to
create these entries.

When cash is received against this guarantee, Receivables creates the following journal entry:

DR Cash XXX
CR Receivables (Invoice) XXX

13.What do you understand by dispute amount in AR?

Dispute Amount: The current amount of this invoice, debit memo, or chargeback that is in dispute.
Receivables sums up the dispute amounts for each installment of your payment schedule and display the
total in this field. You can either increase or decrease the dispute amount. If you enter 0 (zero), the debit
item is no longer in dispute. If your debit item does not have split terms, then you can enter a dispute
amount that is between zero and the balance due for this item.
12 Of 15
Oracle Financials Test No.12 Dt: 18th Feb

RECEIVABLES -1

You can also place a debit item in dispute in the Customer Calls window, and review your in dispute
debit items in the Disputed Invoice Report. For debit items with split terms, you can enter the dispute
amount for each installment in the Installments window or you can set it to either the balance due or
zero in this field.

14.Can we define proximal payment terms in Receivables?

Yes, proxima payment terms a payment term you define for invoices due on the same day each period,
such as your credit card or telephone bills. When you define a proxima payment term, you specify a
cutoff day and the day of month due. This type of payment term is also used with consolidated billing
invoices.

15. Explain the Below Concepts:

Standard Memo Lines

A type of line that you assign to an invoice when the item is not an inventory item (for example,
’Consulting Services’). You define standard memo lines to speed data entry when creating your
transactions

Transaction Source

Batch sources control the standard transaction type assigned to a transaction and determine whether
Receivables automatically numbers your transactions and transaction batches. Active transaction batch
sources appear as list of values choices in the Transactions, Transactions Summary, and Credit
Transactions windows, and for bills receivable in the Bills Receivable and Bills Receivable Transaction
Batches windows.

You can define two types of transaction batch sources:

o Manual: Use manual batch sources with transactions that you enter manually in the
Transactions and Transactions Summary windows, and for bills receivable transactions.

o Imported: Use imported batch sources to import transactions into Receivables using
AutoInvoice.

You can make a batch source inactive by unchecking the Active check box and then saving your work.
Receivables does not display inactive transaction batch sources as list of values choices or let you assign
them to your transactions.

Use transaction types to define the accounting for the debit memos, credit memos, on–account credits,
chargebacks, commitments, invoices, and bills receivable you create in Receivables. Transaction types

It is at higher level i.e. It represents the customer ID or It refers to the place of operation
organization or business group account number that is used of the customer and the
purpose(s) of the site/place i.e.

Dunning Letters

A letter that you send to customers to inform them of past due debit items. Receivables let you specify
the text and format of each letter and whether to include unapplied and on–account payments.

Split Term Method

If you are crediting a transaction that has multiple installments, choose one of the following Split Term
Methods:

First in First Out (FIFO): This method credits the first installment first.

Last In First Out (LIFO): This method credits the last installment first.

Prorate: This method credits the installments of the credited transaction and prorates them based on the
amount remaining for each installment.
